Abstract - Traditional codal Force-Based Design
(FBD)(IS 1893:2002) method of reinforced concrete buildings subjected to seismic loads, associated with many problems such as, initial-stiffness characterization of structures, inappropriate response reduction factor and calculation of fundamental time period is based on height dependant formula. Codal Force Based Design method cannot design structures for target design objectives under a specified hazard level. These problems resulted in the need for an alternative design approach, which lead to the Performance Based Design (PBD). Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) method is based on PBD. Design and analysis is done for reinforced frame buildings of 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 storey based on following codes IS 456, IS 1893:2002 and the two design approaches are studied. Analysis and design is done using commercial software ETABS 2015. The performance evaluation of buildings designed by FBD and DDBD is done using nonlinear static pushover analysis. The parameters like base shear, storey drift at performance point, consumption of steel and concrete for achieving same performance level are compared for DDBD and FBD. For achieving same performance level of IO, it has been found that the reinforced concrete frame buildings designed by DDBD method is economical than those designed with FBD method under similar conditions of modeling. Key Words: Force Based Design(FBD), Direct Displacement Based Design(DDBD), Pushover analysis, Seismic method for IS 1893:2002, Reinforced concrete frame building
1.INTRODUCTION The earthquake forces are most destructive forces among all natural hazards. The application of earthquake forces are random in nature and unpredictable, hence design processes for making structure seismic resistant needs to be clear, definite and effective.

Code design practices have been traditionally based on the Force-Based Design (FBD) (IS 1893:2002) concept, in which individual components of the structure are proportioned for strength such that the structure can sustain the shocks of low intensities without damage, the structure can sustain the shocks of moderate intensities without structural damage and the shocks of heavy intensities without total collapse, on the basis of internal forces computed from the elastic analysis. The inelastic effects are indirectly accounted for by using a Response reduction factor R, which is based on some form of the equal-displacement and equal-energy principles. In the code procedures, an explicit assessment of the anticipated performance of the structure is not done. In the force based codal method of design, the base shear is computed based on perceived seismic hazard level, importance of the building and the appropriate force reduction factor. Then this base shear is distributed over the height of building with some prescribed or estimated distribution pattern. Force Based Design (FBD) suffers from many problems such as the assumed stiffness of the different structural elements, inappropriate response reduction factor and calculation of time period. The emphasis is that, the structure should be able to resist design base shear. Force based design method cannot design structures for target design objectives under a specified hazard level. Priestley (1993,2000,2003) and other researchers have pointed out that force is a poor indicator of the damage and that there is no clear relationship between the strength and the damage. Hence, force cannot be a sole criterion for design. Further, assuming a flat value of the response reduction factor for a class of buildings is not realistic, because ductility depends on so many factors, such as degree of redundancy, axial force, steel ratio, structural geometry etc. To overcome these flaws in the Force-Based Design (FBD), an alternative design philosophy named “Displacement-Based Design (DBD)” was first introduced by Qi and Moehle (1991), which included translational displacement, rotation, strain etc. in the basic design criteria and then Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) was proposed by M.J.N. Priestley (1993) [1]. The Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD)
